Don’t blame guns

January 22, 2013

The recent shootings in the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut has gained a tremendous amount of national attention.

This horrific act of violence has everyone asking, "Why? Where does it end? What's next? What happened to the good 'ol days? Where did we go wrong?"

Americans, including gun owners, know these senseless killings need to stop! Please note, these massacre's of innocent people are not all done with guns!

Banning firearms from law abiding citizens isn't the answer. "We The People," have a right to defend ourselves, our families and our property. Gun control isn't about guns, it's about control.

Don't portray the legal gun owning citizen as a criminal, because, he or she owns a gun. We don't need more gun laws. Let's start by enforcing the gun laws on the books.

For many reasons, institutions have opened the doors to insane asylum, jails and prisons. Some of these individuals are extremely dangerous. Nothing is beyond them when they drink alcohol, do drugs, or a combination of both. Drugs are everywhere and legal in some states.

Today, hatred and violence is everywhere! We have little patience, understanding, tolerance or respect in our fast moving world. Many don't have time for God, prayer, or helping a needy neighbor. Our spiritual beliefs are being pushed to the roadside.

Government is in the way of our religious beliefs. Church and state were separate for a reason. That's why our freedoms and liberties were written into the Bill of Rights and our United States Constitution.
